The British Columbia Broiler Hatching Egg Commission was established in 1988 under the Natural Products Marketing (BC) Act. We currently have 54 registered hatching egg producers in BC and 7 registered pullet growers. The Commission works under the Canadian Hatching Egg Producers (CHEP) who represents 300 farmers from BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec. Canadian hatching egg producers yield 80% of Canada's required hatching eggs.

The Commission's Board of Directors consists of an Independent Chair, appointed by Cabinet, and four elected producer members:
